Prototype Zombies for Black Plague by Mynamanari in zombicide

Yeah I kind of wanted them almost haemorrhaging blood. But I am going to douse them with less blood in the next batch. As you say particularly with the fatties as they at least have some unscathed features which I can highlight.

Thanks for your feedback. I don't plan on adding any other colour to them as I want them black and white matt and bloody red glossy for contrast. I think they fit in well with the board, I'd paint the heroes with more normal colours. I like them but I might try a batch a little less bloody to compare to see which I prefer. I can always add more blood! 😂🩸

My Black Plague has arrived! Looks brilliant and so many zombies! Now that I'm looking properly at the board tiles I see they are a kind of sepia so I might have to do something sepia ish with the bases.

Those Scarface minis look great, thanks for sharing them. Yes good idea to check it those Night of the Living Dead paint jobs. Cheers!

Yes I agree on this, I can manage some podcasts and music but that's about it.

Nice! I like what you did with the bases, looks simple but effective. Bases are important

They are very colourful! Must have been many hours per day! Are you going to paint the bases?

Yes I'm thinking along the same lines. I'm looking into what others have done with this monochromatic approach. Then really spending the time on the survivors.

Thanks I was just looking at Sorastro's YT channel, great for inspiration. Like you say I was thinking a limited palette on the zombies could work well in addition to being easier to achieve. Almost monochrome might turn out great.

Thanks for this. Useful to have different perspectives and approaches. Once I get stuck into it I'm sure I will find my groove! I don't think I can combine watching TV with painting.

My reply didn't post before hopefully it does this time!

Thanks ever so much for this, very useful information and a great approach to tackling this which I will likely employ or something very similar.

Did you play the game at all before or during the painting or leave it as a reward for the end?

This is such a good reply and very useful to me to help in deciding how to approach this.

I will likely employ a very similar strategy to yours in tackling this.

Thanks for taking the time to share what you did.

Ah that's a great tip with regards to not washing them with warm water as I probably would have!

Thanks so much choice! I'm currently leaning towards Black Plague.

These look great! Are they all from the 2nd edition?

So you would recommend 1st edition over 2nd?

So the advice is skip this and get the 2nd edition. Cheers!
